Trossard is a top end championship player at best, played maybe 2 good games this season the rest has been anonymous
I'm sure someone will come out with some stats to shoot me down, but I think he probably did in the PL as well.
He looked like he cared. Something very few of our current squad manage.

Fulham didn't have the faith either

At this level, Knocky, Trossard and Jahanbaksh have all had flashes, but not delivered quality with any consistency.
But if not delivering, at least Knocky has the pace to sh** up a defender and the passion to get his team mates going. I'd way sooner have him in the team to face Wolves than ...... well any of our current forward options now I think about it.
Perhaps they didn't give him the 'love' he received here. Might have excelled under Potter........ We'll never know. WHat we do know is that Trossard isn't anything like as exciting on the ball, nor does he have anything like the same work ethic on the pitch.

I agree about Trossard, but this is a football club and not about cuddling any individual to perform. It's life, you do it or you don't.
Love Knocky, could do with his passion now. (Maybe not the Bournemouth red mist)
Jahanbaksh however needs a chance, but in his proper position.
Mind I could say that about a lot of players now.
Propper if he's fit can also do a job, we need pace in midfield, something Pascal (for all his qualities lack, though to be fair he makes sapce for himslef with his quick feet)
-2Formation needs to change to suit plaers, we need to break more quickly, perhaps a 4-5-1, as we are set up we will never progress quickly enough to break teams down and score enough goals.

Genuine question, have you seen Knocky last season at Fulham or this at Forest ? He is a shadow of his former self

As is Maupay, as is Connolly, as is Wellbeck, Trossard, Jahanbaksh, if they were every any good.
I don't believe in some alternate reality if where we re-signed Knocky, he would fire us up the league. But at least i've seen evidence that he is capable of sustained brilliance, albeit, as you say in a division below. I've never seen it from any of our existing options
Surprised you’ve included Connolly & Welbeck. Connolly doesn’t have a former self really, and Welbeck ‘former self’ is far beyond where Knockaert is. Based on what I have seen with Welbeck he would be handy for any bottom half PL team at the moment
I agree with you.
Said at the time I was disappointed GP didn’t give Knocky a chance. I get the feeling it was a “club decision”, but a shame, I remember disagreeing with others on this. He may have fitted well with Potters style and had genuine flair.
Too late now though. We’ll never know.
Don't believe in psychology much then PotG? ;-)

Would be for the best. Just isn't prem level unfortunately which is a shame as seems a great character.

Another good news thread.
Sadly I think he needs to move on, for his own wellbeing/benefit.
We've never used him properly or enough IMO, largely down to the way CH/GP chose to play.
I hope he gets a decent move, he deserves it and he's good enough.
